Sacrifice Biden to save US democracy? EL PAÍS USA EDITION

Dear readers, Spain's intelligence services have no doubt that the long hand of the Kremlin is behind an unprecedented crime: the assassination in a town on the Spanish Mediterranean of Maxim Kuzminov, the Russian captain who defected last August and crossed over to Ukraine with his Mi8 combat helicopter. ‌ In the U.S., Donald Trump is looking increasingly like the candidate to beat in the November election, and former assistant attorney general for the State of New York Reed Brody makes the case that Biden should step down so Democrats can find a more compelling nominee in time to confront the Republican. ‌ In Ukraine, our correspondent traveled to Chasiv Yar, a ruined city in the eastern front where Russian troops are preparing their next big move in the ongoing war. And our Middle East reporter looked into the dramatic situation of thousands of children who have been separated from their families in Gaza. ‌ This week we also bring you a visual explainer of how Argentina's economy would change with dollarization, and an interview with Microsoft president Brad Smith about the urgent need to find "a hand brake" for artificial intelligence.  ‌ We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from El País USA Edition.

Cuba: More dust in the wind Exile has been a substantial part of Cuba since the nation’s origins, but the current wave of migration appears to be the largest in history

Brad Smith, president of Microsoft: ‘We must have a way to slow down or turn off artificial intelligence’ The executive is in favor of governments and civil society putting pressure on the industry to regulate AI: ‘The more powerful the technology becomes, the stronger the safeguards and controls need to become with it’

John Travolta, the 70-year-old semi-retired widower soaring over Hollywood A pilot who’s more interested these days in his planes and children than in his acting career, the two-time Oscar nominee faced personal tragedies that shaped his life
